This Web site is an ongoing collection of the most significant information about Cistercian monasteries, whatever their status - inhabited, abandoned, current affiliation - or even if they are inhabited by persons other than monks or nuns. We are publishing relevant articles online as well as providing photos, links, and bibliographies for each monastery. We also hope to make everything available in all the relevant languages. If you want to get involved, please get in touch with us. If you would like to add articles or (even better) pictures, contribute to the bibliography, or make constructive criticism, please contact one of the editors. We are grateful to all the authors who have contributed to this collection.
